But my, they break quickly and now Alba stands on the edge of his box and is shrugged off by Muller. He takes it to the left then threads a pass through to Lewandowski who stops to try to sell a dummy to Mascherano who refuses to buy it and his stance wins the ball back.
Guardiola stood on the touchline whipping his hands in a circular motion after the goal then punched the air with a vicious uppercut.
Dani Alves goes into a challenge tow to toe, raised off the ground at knee height, with Schweinsteiger who fouls him. Allianz absolutely shaking now.
Alonso corner, terrible fcb marking, header from big Benatia. Bayern Barcelona Benatia Headed in from a corner after a couple of quick breaks.
The centre-back had a free jump at it from 12 yards, twisted his neck and powered his header in. Rakitic loses Xabi Alonso when Dani Alves chips a long pass from halfway up the middle.
Nothing comes of it as they are squeezed out of space on the right after switching it. Bayern have a throw, tack right and Lahm goes sprinting up the right to try a cross from a tight angle but he, too, runs out of space as Alba stalks his run.
A loss at Nou Camp instead of what should have been at least thrashing was a miracle in itself. Hmm, an out and out front three. No Champions League medal for Pep this year.
Javier Mascherano will be key tonight, Pique too who has been immaculate recently. Lahm should man mark Messi - he is one of the best defenders around.
Like he just stepped out of the salon. He looks like Maroaune Chamakh. Bayern are down from the first leg and have recovered from an away first-leg defeat to win 10 times, as they did against Porto in the last round.
That was the first time they had overcome a two-goal deficit. Now their task is, at the very least, to grab three goals and keep a clean sheet.
To me they look short of being capable of that despite how well Lewandowski and Muller played in the first leg. But you never know Unchanged all round, then.
All we have to work out is whether Guardiola is playing or ZDF und sky live. I wrote this for the print copy of the Telegraph a couple of months ago.
Hubris strikes Milan a year before Istanbul when the holders went to Galicia to defend a first-leg quarter-final lead and found themselves steamrollered by Deportivo La Coruna.
The last vintage performance of a thrilling La Coruna side whose verve had lit up Europe for five years, they tore into Cafu, Andrea Pirlo, Paolo Maldini, Andriy Shevchenko et al at such a ferocious tempo in front of a crowd that was pitched close to hysteria that the champions simply fell apart.
Little wonder they ran up to goad Schuster at the end. After seventeen years without a trophy Arsenal finally broke their drought in the Fairs Cup in the most unpromising of circumstances having gone down in the first leg of the final.
At last a side rich in potential had managed to get over the line. The next year they won the Double. Real were holders when they were whacked in the first leg in Germany but turned the tide at home, Jorge Valdano scoring twice in the first 17 minutes and the veteran Santillana two more in the last 14 minutes to go through on away goals in a comeback the most successful club in history regards as its finest.
Perhaps they did — with nothing to lose Bayer Uerdingen went berserk, scoring six second-half goals to go from down on aggregate to a victory with two apiece for Wolfgang Schafer and Wolfgang Funkel.
But Napoli cracked, conceding a penalty that Frank Lamprad converted to take the tie into extra-time where Branislav Ivanovic scored one of his specials to put Chelsea on course for their first European Cup and make Roberto Di Matteo the king of all caretakers.
Proving to their detractors that could be a team for all surfaces with a first leg win at Highbury because Uefa would not allow QPR to play their home Uefa Cup ties on the Loftus Road plastic, when they played the return the club was pining for their former manager Terry Venables and in revolt against his successor Alan Mullery.
The last thing you want when trailing from the away leg is to concede early but that is precisely what Fulham did at Craven Cottage, going down on aggregate in their Europa League round of 16 tie when David Trezeguet opened the scoring for Juve after 90 seconds.
For the second year running Liverpool were knocked out of the European Cup in the first round. Afternoon all - welcome to our live coverage of Bayern Munich v Barcelona.
In the mean time, have a vote on our lovely poll Barca are on the brink of their eighth European Cup final after routing Bayern in the first leg at the Camp Nou last Wednesday when Lionel Messi dazzled with two goals before setting Neymar up for their third.

And their questionable start to the season will probably be more understandable come January. Speaking of blue, specifically of the sky variety, Manchester City are still the favourites to win the Champions League.
They have the easiest draw of the English sides, although will be keen to avoid Atletico Madrid. Porto are probably the team to face out of all of the winners.
Manchester United would undoubtedly want to draw them. But that would mean a meeting between Jose Mourinho and Iker Casillas, who fell out spectacularly when the Portuguese manager was in charge at Real Madrid.
My question is, for that newspaper: Or maybe they do a practice draw beforehand? This sort of process is shrouded in as much mystery as Area The list is quite easy to pick apart.
So the options are as follows:. Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Schalke. The teams who are seeded, which in the case of the English sides, means just Manchester City, will play away from home first.
The situation is reversed for the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool, who all came second in their group.
